I remember hearing articles about the Minecraft movie. I thought that would never happen.
I was wrong.
My gut reaction here is again, "that would never happen" let's see in 5-10 years...

The Mr.Beast Movie feels a bit like cotton candy flavoured cotton candy.
Why would you buy his book??
By sold well do you mean he bought himself a million copies so it could be said that it sold well?
That's the entire fucking streamer house of cards.
That’s just a normal thing best selling authors do
You got any evidence to back that claim up?
I've added '& Mr beast shill' to your growing list of tags reminding me why I ought to not take anything you say seriously.
You're one of my least favorite people on Lemmy. Thought you should know. Cheers!
It's a pretty commonly utilized tactic that's especially employed by grifters who want to lend credence to the grift and political operatives who want to... lend credence to their grift. Occasionally though by people who want to gain notoriety in a field they're new in, keep up a streak of success if they're not sure about the book's quality, or do a book tour and have something to sell the talkshows. In all cases it's employed by people with more money than talent.

This other source is more specific to what the other commenter was referring to though: https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/politicians-political-groups-buying-bulk-books-reports-2f81ef
I wasn't questioning whether anyone has ever done this. I was questioning whether they have even a single piece of evidence suggesting that this particular person has done so or if this accusation is purely motivated by simply not liking them which does not justify spreading disinformation.
This guy's floated the idea of running for president in the future.
Our timeline is truly railed.
Eh, his reputation is at least built on doing good deeds. Compare that to the current crop of politicians.
(I don't watch him, or any videos for that matter, so my only knowledge is as a member of the general public).
His reputation has been a YouTuber.
As in, now matter how good they look on camera, its all an act for the camera. If you REALLY wanted to build wells or help the blind, turn off the camera and go do it.
His reputation has been built on game shows. The charity porn was for seed money for the game shows.
I know him for psychologically torturing people to bring out the worst in them on netflix.
"good deeds" meaning staged charity events, that either dint really pay out, or wasnt really effective. ALot influencers will "i donated to charity" in order to gain more followers.
Is it at an appropriate reading level for his fans? Perhaps a picture book?
I've never seen his videos but I rarely hear good things
its mainly targeted towards gen Alpha audience, stupid gimmicks for a impressionable young audience. also the biggest drama was the LUNCHLY disaster with KSI, paul brother, and another influencer. they made a wierd commercial how "its the best lunchable-like food they ate" and all of them look they had a gun to thier heads.
I have watched a few, once you have seen one you have basically seen them all though, they have a rigid formula
I needed something to talk to my nephew about when he was younger
A movie about a YouTube star. I wonder what it will reveal. What social statement will it make. How will it show the art of AI sloping your way to a script and a thumbnail.
People gonna stupid. Can't fix that.
Ah, Mr. Beast... I didn't know he had a book. I remember his vids. They were algo-hitting "do crazy stuff" survivor-like videos, along with philantrophy vids. Dude's got issues, but rarely do you get a youtuber that's super popular and isn't a problem offscreen.
I didn't even know he wrote a book.
Just curious what you don't like about him.
I don't consume any of his content. All I really know about him is he does gameshow things and dug some wells in Africa I think.
Or maybe that was eye surgery?
Hell maybe both, I don't even know.
Oh and something about his teeth.
I don't find his antics entertaining. But also he might be a bad person on top of that: https://time.com/7010441/mrbeast-accusations-explained/
his influence sells very well in ASIA apparently, they like his shitty food he sells, and his "comical" channel.
